Anyways, it's totally miserable here. Am curled up with a couple of cats and a hot water bottle. I suspect the former are only with me because of the latter.

Can't eat mushy or processed peas - as I discovered the other week. They do interesting and not very nice things with my digestive tract as I appear to be intolerant to the green food colouring.

I ended up as bloated as Marge Dursley at the beginning of harry Potter and the prizoner of azkaban. I'd have paid a *fortune* to fart.

Almost lost the will to live. I spent an hour and a half on a live chat trying to stop my mobile account from being terminated because I haven't been using it enough.

Disaster averted, but aaaargh!

Still getting the occasional drizzle here
Hopefully it will be dry for some early morning miles

Mushy peas, mmmmmmm

Live chat exchanges are intensely infuriating, but not quite as much as this....

That's how many calls it took me to not get an engaged tone at the doctors this morning.

Doubly frustrating as it was to chase up them not ringing me yesterday as they said they would

I have two mobiles [don't ask] and one is kept for making medical calls for eg appointments and some other routine calls I make thus ensuring it is used several times per month. The other is for social calls and text messages as well as ferry bookings and text warnings of disruptions from the ferry company. Never had a problem. BT and Vodaphone.

My surgery has what appears to be a semi secret number which is seldom engaged but you do have to listen to a covid preamble before you can speak to anyone.

The BT engineers locally were issued with company phones as the company removed the spare wheels from their vans and they were supposed to phone for assistance if they got a puncture. Trouble was that they were not also supplied with a signal they could use and they could be at least 10 miles from the nearest house. Red faces all round and spare wheels were reissued. I think the problem was that in city areas the wheels got stolen although not easy to do on my old transit.
